As of 15 min ago, my dad has decided to install windows 11 on his 12 year old home pc. Oh boy.
I'm running Windows 11 on a 12 year old X79 platform. Runs just fine.
But it was definitely top of the line in its day and 48GB of RAM keeps any system relatively snappy.
It's an i5-2430m powered AIO PC with a HDD and 8 gb of ram (its only saving grace). It's fine for what my dad uses it for, which is largely web browsing for work and excel.
Yeah Win11 will probably be a noticeable performance hit on that. Especially Explorer which they made dog slow when adding tabs and the new context menu.
The Office apps and browser will probably be about the same.
